The Trojan horse analogy is appropriate.

No not all are dangerous. The MAJORITY aren't I'm sure, but as we can see, it only takes a few to do some massive damage.


Why does this concept not make sense to so many?


Pick your favorite high crime neighborhood in your area.

Would you just let someone into your home from these areas if they came knocking on your door?


Forget about all the ways media spins this concept and just think about this for a second, and then respond.

Yes, how much is a small percentage of a lot?


Too many.

One of the primary (actual duties, unlike the made up ones) responsibilities of the Federal Government is to protect our nation.

No. No explanation necessary, IMO.

No!

You can bring them out of the hostile area, but you can't easily change their violent mindset.

You are playing with fire!

Anyone coming in the country should be screened, but especially from hostile areas.

Yes there is no perfect system, but there is a better one than what we have currently.

Should Afghan translators who worked for our military be allowed in? I`d hate to see thousands of good people who put their lives on the line for us being denied entry to the home of the not so brave. They are targets of ISIS.

Currently they are screened for up to two years. Yes, there is no perfect way. We took lots of Vietnamese in and they came from a very hostile place.

True. But the enemy in Viet Nam didn't want to come here and blow things up. Their goal was to take the South and stay there. Terror tactics here would have been counter productive to their goals. Giap wasn't a fanatic and neither was Ho Chi Minh. Trying to attack targets in the US with infiltrators would have strengthened US resolve and weakened the public opinion against the war.

Vietnamese has a different culture, too. I know i will get a lot of negative remarks for my next statement, I know that Vietnam war is highly unpopular, but ask any south Vietnamese, they view Americans as their saviors, do they not?

The South Vietnamese who came here had the misfortune of siding with the invaders so yes, we`re their saviors...sort of.
